Mock draft with Steelers trade scenario; Plus other Mock Drafts from around the net

Kevin Colbert went on the record saying the Steelers very well could explore the option of trading down in the first round. He said there are a lot of quality players in rounds 2 and 3 that could help the team out.

What in the world? How would aquire 5 or 6 picks that easily? I mean as sweet as that would be I don't see see us doing that.

Not sure what you mean. The Steelers in this scenario pick 2 of Atlanta's 2nd round picks for the 23rd overall pick. They could probably squeeze a 4th or 5th round pick out of the deal or more likely a 2009 draft pick. Atlanta has more picks than anyone, and 3 of them are 2nd round picks. If they don't go QB at #3, they are almost certain to package some picks and move back into the f1st and take Flacco or Brohm...unless they like Henne the best and feel he'll be there in the 2nd.

Oh ok I was just confused at first. That would be interesting if they did trade down.

I'd love to see us trade down although I don't think they'll go completely out of the first round. Gaining an extra pick would be awesome; I don't think they'd go for Pollack at Center though in the 3rd but if it were to play out in a similar manner as what you have after round 1 then Bell or Eric Young would be an option for us.

Scout.com's final mock draft

Scout.com has conducted it's final mock where sports writers from each team make the picks. For the Steelers Jim Wexell makes the pick and chose Jonathon Stewart RB, from Oregon. I think that pick makes a lot of sense. After signing Starks and picking up Hartwig, I don't think the O-line is top priority any more. I think they will still take an O-lineman but not until the second or third round. Here is how I think it might play out:
